Which Adlai Stevenson is it?  The one that ran against Eisenhower both times or his grandfather.  Anyway, here my pick: William Jenning Bryan

A brilliant man, ahead of his time who would have made a great President.

Five terrible choices! I guess Humphrey, though I'm sure he still would have been awful.

You're truly delusional if you think William J. Bryan was terrible.

Pandering to farmers by essentially promising to steal from debt collectors is pretty terrible.

Not terrible, but not very appealing either

Bryan I suppose.  Maybe Adlai because he seems to have been a fundamentally sound person.

Um, that would be George McGovern.  Hubert Humphrey was really the last old-style liberal we had to get the nomination; he'd be disgusted by the current Democratic Party of today.

It's a legit point. I have nothing against -8, 0 populism, but I do have something against -8, 8 populism, which is what he wanted.
